Yeah, I tried that with my customization of the old version. But the problem is that the program icon on the taskbar doesn't get merged with the pin like it would with a pin to an .exe:
as for difficulty its really nothing, i dont parse the raw html myself, i use a librrary that handles the html element hierarchy in an object oriented way. the setup for parsing the html is set here
head.find("select", name="rating").get("data-initial-rating"), and for the number of votes it would be something similar, getting the .text value and removing non numeric characters (and those character escape codes would also be handled by the html parser from my experience). my main argue against this is that it would add a lot of confusion i thinkthe whole process is available in the build.yml workflow file (.github/workflows/build.yml), its literally what github runs to build the exes for me. however the main command to bundle everything into an executable is the
python setup.py build command (
true, but you might be better off just rrenaming the file to .pyw to hide the console, or editing main.py (it hides the console window only if it is run as a standalone executable) by skipping the pid check here
Thanks again for you aid. Looks like I'm starting again building my list, but it's still so much better than life before I had this, I can't thank you enough for it.
I agree .pyw would be easier if the locally installed python version is the same as the one required by the tool so you can just associate python to open .pyw files. but if its different version, using a script will allow you to easily specify which python to use
Sorry to say I couldn't get it working on my system. I downloaded the latest build, and when I run it, it just closes immediately without logging anything or popping up any error message. I double-checked the executable, and it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue. Same with the second-to-latest build.
now that you mention it yea, somethings wrong with the app bundle itself...
i stated this multiple times, this app is meant to be simple. it is only to let you know when there are updates. it does not interact witth your installed games. you manage those. the reason i made this program is EXACTLY because all the other options tried to manage the games on disk and download them, doing either a poor job of it or being overly complicated to setup (purely my opinion, i am sure they are all fine pieces of software). if you want this functionality go use gamelist or some other alternative, f95checker is not for you.
seems to be some retarded apple thing. why am i not surprised.
update: no more .app bundle, im sorry but this shit is ridiculous. im not gonna pay 100$ for a developer account, same shit as windows
Oh man, apple is so fucking annoying. I'm a dev too, and I love the Mac for open source stuff, but I never actually write Mac apps for the same reason. Totally understand why it's too much of a pain in the ass.
nah, i just meant no .app bundle. the executables themselves we both established are working fine. i just pushed a commit and build removing the .app bundle, now it will basically just be the contents of the .app/Contents/MacOS folder, without the other .app stuff. unfortunately this means the executable that users need to click on will not have the icon itself (like on linux), but it should atleast be at the top of the list in the filemanager hopefully
Ohh, got it. That makes a lot of sense. I'll give the new build a try when I have a chance and let you know how it goes.
I just tried out build 293, but ran into a couple of problems. The main one is that I had to approve every dylib and so as unsigned code. But the thing that finally blocked me was that PIL._imaging.cpython-310-darwin.so wouldn't load at all. Looks like it may be a 32-bit lib, or maybe a bad signature? This is the error I got on stderr, if it's at all helpful:
